Promise and Call “The PROMISE is unto you and to your children, and to all that are a far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall CALL.” Acts 2:39. Both the promises of God and the call of God are necessary for his glory and for our salvation. The promises of God, without […]
In Christ Why does Paul say that he wanted to found in Christ? It is because Christ is everything God the Father requires, everything God freely gives his people, is IN CHRIST.

Religious circumcision is when men either cut out of their lives fleshly pleasures, or look to fleshly things in hopes of earning favor with God. It is man’s desire to make a fair show in the flesh to avoid suffering persecution for […]

The Miracle of Hearing God-called gospel preachers spend a lot of time in prayer and preparation of the Word. They are deeply concerned with being clear and faithful to preach Christ and Him crucified. “How shall they hear without a preacher” Rom. 10:14. Paul asked rhetorically, “who is sufficient for these things”? I Cor. 2:16. […]
When that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.” – I Corinthians 13:10When the “Perfect Man” comes, only then shall we see Him as He is and be made like Him.
